Should I get my dogs neutered?

Puffin' pup - not good!

B&BAussies - I don't know where you live, and don't know if the same applies to dogs as to cats, but why not discuss this with your breeder?

S/he should know if that particular breed has any health risks regarding neutered/non-neutered, and especially breeds from her/his kennel.

My sister got purebred cats that were not show quality, and she had to sign an agreement that she WOULD get them neutered.

Does your breeder have any rules or guidelines on this matter?

Hug your puppies for me!

I think your pup needs to go on the patch, WOm.

I thought about that, but after reading what the OP had to say, I thought it best to first get a doctorate in Dog Health before I go making educated decisions.
So that........
a) My dog won't die of lung cancer.
b) I can also write a 3000 word essay to impress everyone on PT.

My first dog was not neutered. He was just fine. He lived up to be 18 years old. He was a Lab/Beagle mix. Best dog I ever had. Otherwise, the next couple dogs I've had growing up, they were either spayed/neutered. Each owner is different. Each to their own.
